“We must flood, flood, flood the USCIS comments portal, as well as our local congressmen, with our objections by March 13,” explains arts lawyer Brian Goldstein in a video interview. The USCIS plans to hike O and P visa fees for foreign artists to $1,615 from $460, as well as limit the number of people included in each petition to 25—potentially adding burdensome additional costs to visiting orchestras.
USCIS stands for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The proposed increase from $460 to $1,615 represents a 400% increase.
